>I'm too boggled at the idea of Edison giving up to really comment.

The terms of his contract with the Grand Alliance weren't favorable enough to persuade him that his army of uncredited assistants was best employed in continuing work on Project Macross. Undercutting George Westinghouse and making snide remarks to the press as to the unsuitability of the Macross technologies emerging under Tesla (while those assistants worked on motion picture technology) looked like a much more lucrative use of his time.

Benefitting all mankind is all well and good, but daddy has to get paid, you know what I'm sayin'?
